49 days to train

49 days until 26.2
I am obsessed with this idea and excited and kind of a bit freaked out too.
After my long run this past Sunday...and it is now Wednesday.....I can stand up from sitting down normally again!!

Not too shabby for a 50 year old lady. I was able to do almost 18 miles in under 4 hours. I ran the entire time (except a bathroom break at Hermosa Pier) Since my goal this year at the marathon is to run the entire 26.2 no walking I know I will need to get more long runs in the next few weeks.

This coming weekend I am planning to join a group of runners from Noah's Wish fund raising team and run a section of the actual course. That should be very interesting. I look forward to meeting Dave, http://www.wonderfulworldofdave.com/ I have enjoyed following his training and he has run many marathons this past year. I just hope I do not slow down their pace!

I've seen Dave's blog in my late-night Internet surfing and I love it. His dogs are so cute. You, lady, amaze me. I have no doubt that you will reach your marathon goal of running the entire 26.2 miles. Your focus and determination are inspiring to me and, even though I can't be in LA in 49 days, I will be cheering for you in spirit. Hugs... J
